Alone. She was alone. No one was left to comfort her; her two closest friends were gone. One had betrayed her, and the other went to stop him. One of them might even be dead, the horned girl thought to herself.

"Why...why did you leave me?" Terra asked no one, all alone in the black void. The limbo closed in on her, yet still left itself open, the choking emptyness surrounding her.

Terra's red and tear-filled eyes snapped open, gazing at the stone ceiling yards above her. She sat up in her bed, wiping her eyes of the tears flooding them. Terra expected to feel the loving embrace of her childhood friend surround her, just like they always did when she had a nightmare. But not today, today, she was all alone. Tears escaped their ducts once more, flowing over her cheeks, dripping off her chin and onto the covers. She sat and sobbed, sobbed in her lonliness. One of the servants, one that had supported Terra after Quarrel had made itself known to her and Epee.

"Terra, dear, are you alright?" She had heard the sobs from down the hall. Terra looked up, and stared solemnly into the maids eyes. The servant sat in the bed next to the crying unicorn, and hugged her. Terra hugged her back, crying into her shoulder.

"Why, Epee?! Why did you have to do this...you were already s-s-supposed to follow him anyways!! Y-you didn't to do this..." She wailed, the pained she kept inside flowing openly now, flowing like her tears.

"Ssshhh...it's okay...just let it all out...sshhh...." The servant said soothingly. "Come on, let's go for a night fly, it'll make you feel so much better..." She said, flexing her maroon wings.

"T-thank you, Rose..."

The water gently flowed over your body, soothing your sore muscles. The steam from the hot shower cleared your nostrils. This felt great, you thought to yourself, before you remembered you needed to save hot water for Fluttershy. You step out, shutting off the water and grabbing a towel off the rack. Toweling yourself dry, you look in the mirror to see yourself for the first time. You had straight brown hair, wet from the shower. Hazel eyes shone, appearing blue in the light. You look at your cut and and bruised body. Twilight had done an amazing job, all the cuts were already almost fully healed and began fleshing over. You still had to be careful; they could reopen if you weren't careful.

A knock sounded on the door.

"Epee, a-are you done?" Fluttershy's timid voice said from the other side of the door.

"Yeah," you respond, grabbing bandages from the counter, "I'll be out in a second." You rewrap your arm and one nasty wound on your chest, the only two that needed to be covered.

Finished bandaging yourself, you step out of the bathroom, towel wrapped around your waist so your privates stay hidden. Even though, everyone already got a nice look when they changed you. Fluttershy was to your right, staring at your bare upper body. You both blush, and Fluttershy squeaks, rushing to her room. You do the same, minus the squeaking.

A few eggs sizzled as the beaten yellow yolk was poured into pan. You took the liberty to start breakfast while Fluttershy went to tend to all her little critters milling about the cottage inside and out. A few mice and kittens appproached you and stared at the tall, new visitor. You would scratch them behind the ear or under the chin whenever they drew near to you. Fluttershy came back, wiping some dirt from her jeans. She must've had to get on all fours for something in the chicken coop or something, you thought to yourself.

"You...have quite alot of animals here, Fluttershy," you say while a kitten played with your shoestring.

"Yeah, I guess..." She replied quietly. it'd the morning after the walk around Ponyville, so you didn't actually think it'd be so soon that she'd comfortable around you. You remember seeing the farm Applejack lived and worked at, and wondered how she didn't have any room for you. It was quite spacious, and looked to hold at least a family of five, and she only talked about a big brother, a younger sister, and her grandmother. You were sure that Sugarcube Corner had a free room as well. The only people you were sure of that had no space was Twilight and Rarity. You couldn't even stand on Dash's property either. Something was up, but you decided to worry later.

"Oh my god, Fluttershy! Really!? Already!?" Twilight said, jaw dropped.

All she did in response was blush and hide her face.

"I mean...no offense, I've heard of it happening in more ridiculous ways, but...you've only known him for a few hours..."

"I-I know that, but...I mean, I know I'm shy normally around others, but...it's different with him...I can't even speak, or look at him..." she sipped her cider. Everyone was outside a small public restroom building, waiting for Epee to relieve himself.

"Sounds like our Fluttershy is in lo-" Applejack was cut off by Fluttershy's timid voice.

"Ssshhh!! P-please don't let him hear you!" she said, hushed and scared for her life that he would hear their conversation.

"Hear what?" the amnesia struck young man said, returning from the restroom.

After finishing your morning meal with Fluttershy, a knock erupted from the front door, cutting through the uncomfortable silence. You open it too see who arricved, and to your suprise, Dash, wings flexing, was standing at the doorstep.

"Sup, Epee?" the cyan-winged pegasus said, tucking her wings back into their resting place.

"Oh, hi Rainbow." You said. Fluttershy approached from behind, and sounded out a hopeful, "Hi, Dash."

Dash waved in response, and turned to you. "Hey, you doin anything today? Of course not, anyways, wanna hang out? I thought you'd like to get out and do something." Dash glanced behind you to Fluttershy for half a second, then shot her eyes back to you. "So...wanna come?"

"Uh, sure, I don't see why not..." you say, suspicion in your voice.

"Ok then, come on!" She said, grabbing your arm.

"Er, bye, Fluttershy," you said as you were dragged off by Dash. Why was she acting this way? Was she trying to get you away from Fluttershy?
